Open Up Your Conveyor for Quicker Belt Changes with Dorner's Cantilever Stand Mounts

Cantilever stand mounts allow for quicker belt changes, improved productivity.

2011-04-16

BROOKFIELD, WI, April 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Conveyors are designed to fit into extremely tight spaces. But cantilever stand mounts from Dorner Manufacturing can help open them up.

Cantilever stands support the conveyor from only one side, which opens the other side up for easy access and quick belt changes. This feature is ideal when conveyors are placed it tight locations or for applications that require a higher number than normal belt changes. Standard conveyor stands often have to be removed to facilitate a belt change; cantilever stands allow the belt to slide right off without removing stands, and by only one technician - a great time-saving feature.

The unique side-support design of the cantilever stand mount also provides easy access for employee interaction and more efficient cleaning by eliminating obstructions to the conveyor.

The cantilever stand mounts are engineered to work with Dorner's 2200 and 3200 Series conveyors. Specifications of the cantilever stand mounts include:

- Widths between 2" and 24", and available in 1" increments
- Conveyors up to 6" wide are supported with a single cantilever bracket only
- Conveyors 8" and wider include a pivoting outboard support post

Hartland, Wisconsin-based Dorner Manufacturing is a world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of high-quality conveyors and related equipment. Since 1973, companies from around the world have turned to Dorner conveyors for greatly improved efficiency and productivity.

Non-cardiac surgery: Safe for patients with heart device

2011-04-16

DETROIT – Non-cardiac surgery can be performed safely in patients with a heart device typically implanted into patients waiting for a transplant, according to a study at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump implanted in the chest to help a weakened heart pump blood. The devices are increasingly used in the United States, where heart failure affects five million people, but there are less than 3,000 donor organs available annually worldwide. Last year, nearly 2500 patients were implanted with the device in the ...

FDA approves the NovoTTF-100A system for the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumors

WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 14, 2011 – Novocure today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the NovoTTF-100A System (NovoTTF) for the treatment of adult patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumors, following tumor recurrence after receiving chemotherapy. The portable, wearable device delivers an anti-mitotic, anti-cancer therapy as patients maintain their normal daily activities. The NovoTTF is a novel, first-in-class treatment option for patients and physicians battling glioblastoma. "Our device provides patients and physicians ...

Twitter and natural disasters

Adam Acar and Yuya Muraki of the Kobe City University of Foreign Studies surveyed and questioned Twitter users and tracked updates from people in the disaster-struck area on the social media site two weeks after the Tohoku earthquake and devastating tsunami of March 11. They hoped to determine what benefits such a system can bring to people involved in a disaster and to those hoping to hear news. The researchers found that people in directly affected areas tended to tweet about their unsafe and uncertain situation while people in remote areas posted messages to let their ...

Human rules may determine environmental 'tipping points'

2011-04-16

A new paper appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) suggests that people, governments, and institutions that shape the way people interact may be just as important for determining environmental conditions as the environmental processes themselves. "Tipping points," qualitative changes in an ecosystem that often result in reduced ecosystem health and are difficult and costly to reverse increasingly concern environmental scientists. The prevailing assumption among scientists has been that tipping points are fixed values. However, a unique ...

Search for dark matter narrowed by new data from XENON100

2011-04-16

Today, scientists from the XENON collaboration announced the result from their search for the elusive component of our universe known as dark matter. After analyzing one hundred days of data taken with the XENON100 experiment, they see no evidence for the existence of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), the leading candidates for the mysterious dark matter. The XENON100 experiment is operated deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the Italian National Institute for Physics (INFN). While the group observed three candidate events, two had been ...

Wistar researchers follow a path to a potential therapy for NF2, a rare tumor disorder

2011-04-16

PHILADELPHIA – (April 15, 2011) – The proteins that provide cells with a sense of personal space could lead to a therapeutic target for Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2), an inherited cancer disorder, according to researchers at The Wistar Institute. Their findings, which appear in the April 12 issue of the journal Cancer Cell, could have profound implications for NF2 and related cancers, such as mesothelioma. The researchers describe, for the first time, that Merlin, the protein encoded within the NF2 gene interacts with a protein called angiomotin. This connection between ...
